Counterfeiters nabbed in Conover
Conover Police arrested two men Wednesday for allegedly running a counterfeiting operation at a city residence.
The investigation started when employees from the Conover Wal-Mart called Conover Police to report a customer shoplifting from the store.
Authorities arrived at the scene and interrogated Arthur Joseph Carr, 23, of Beckley, W.Va., and Emmitt Seven Loges, 23, of Conover.
During the investigation, police discovered a counterfeit $20 bill on Carr, according to Conover Police Lt. Shane Moore. Law enforcement officials transported Carr and Loges to the Conover Police Department for further interviews.
Police contacted the United States Secret Service's office in Charlotte and drafted a warrant to search Loges' residence on Lyle Haven Drive, where both men were staying at the time of their arrest.
After the warrant was issued, police searched the residence and found a copy machine used to make counterfeit money and an undisclosed number of counterfeit bills. Moore said the machine is a device that prints a dollar bill-like image onto paper.
Police seized the evidence for further investigation.
Moore said he didn't know how long the men operated the counterfeiting scheme before their arrest. He said it's difficult to tell how much, if any, counterfeit money for Carr and Loges' operation was distributed in the county.
"It's kind of a trickle-down effect," Moore said. "Right now we've been in contact with a lot of different agencies."
Further investigation in the case led authorities to Statesville, where police believe Carr and Loges could be responsible for counterfeit money used at the Statesville Wal-Mart.
Police also discovered Loges is wanted in West Virginia on outstanding charges.
The men were confined Wednesday in Catawba County jail. Loges is charged with forgery of instrument, extradition of a fugitive to another state and resisting/obstructing justice.
Loges allegedly gave police fictitious names and wasn't forthcoming with information during questioning. Loges' bond is set at $65,000.
Carr is charged with forgery of instrument, attempting to obtain property under false pretenses and misdemeanor larceny. Carr's bond is $15,000.
Moore said there's no evidence to think a lot of Carr and Loges' counterfeit money is circulating in the county.
"We're not 100 percent sure about these individuals right now," Moore said.
Additional charges in the case are pending, Moore said. The police department is in the process of compiling paperwork in the case and plans to meet with a Secret Service agent, as well as the district attorney.
He advises residents to be on the lookout for phony cash. The No. 1 giveaway in counterfeit money is the texture, Moore said. Other tell-tale signs of counterfeiting is a bill with odd coloration or an unusual watermark.
Anyone who thinks they are in possession of a counterfeit bill should contact their local law enforcement agency.

Initiation of Phase 1 Study of PRT4445 Represents Important Milestone in Portola's Hospital-Based Thrombosis Franchise
Initiation of Phase 1 Study of PRT4445 Represents Important Milestone in Portola's Hospital-Based Thrombosis Franchise
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 15, 2012) - Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced enrollment of subjects in the second cohort of its Phase 1 study of PRT4445, the first universal Factor Xa inhibitor antidote in clinical development. PRT4445 is a recombinant biologic designed to reverse the anticoagulant activity of oral and injectable Factor Xa inhibitors in patients suffering life-threatening bleeds or requiring urgent surgery. No agents are approved to specifically reverse the activity of oral Factor Xa inhibitors. Current strategies for mitigating serious bleeding in patients taking Factor Xa inhibitors include the administration of coagulation factors such as recombinant Factor VIIa or blood-derived prothombin complex concentrates, which have not been shown to be effective and are known to have prothrombotic risk.
PRT4445 is a companion product to betrixaban, a novel, oral, once-daily Factor Xa inhibitor. Portola is evaluating betrixaban in its global, pivotal Phase 3 APEX Study to show superiority to the current standard of care for hospital and post-discharge prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in acute medically ill patients, a multi-billion dollar indication for which there are no approved therapies for use post hospital discharge.
"Factor Xa inhibitors have been shown to be a major advancement over current standard therapies, such as warfarin and enoxaparin. However, for patients taking these agents who are bleeding or require urgent surgery, physicians need a rapid reversal agent to return patients to normal hemostasis. Our goal is to bring to market the first antidote for both oral and injectable Factor Xa inhibitors to reverse their anticoagulant activity, when needed, and reduce the risk of life-threatening bleeds and associated costs," said Michael M. Kitt, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer of Portola. "With the initiation of our Factor Xa inhibitor antidote clinical program and the Phase 3 study of betrixaban earlier this year, Portola now has in clinical development two unique hospital-based drugs in the field of thrombosis with the potential to establish a new standard of care."
The Phase 1 single ascending dose safety and tolerability study of PRT4445 will include approximately 40 healthy volunteers and will be conducted in the United States. It will be followed this fall by a clinical proof-of-concept study to demonstrate the safety of PRT4445 and its ability to reverse the anticoagulation activity of Factor Xa inhibitors at steady state in subjects taking one of multiple Factor Xa inhibitors.
Need for Factor Xa Inhibitor Antidote
The use of Factor Xa inhibitors, including low molecular weight heparins, is projected to grow and exceed 20 million patients by the year 2020. The major limitation of these agents is bleeding, which is a rare but potentially life-threatening and costly complication. About 300,000 U.S. patients taking these drugs will experience a life-threatening bleed, and 3 million U.S patients will be at risk for bleeding because they require surgery. Although bleeding events occur infrequently (1-4 percent in clinical studies), the number globally will be significant due to the large number of patients receiving these agents. The cost to treat a bleeding case can range from $15,000 to $42,000 in direct medical expenses -- due in part to non-specific, incomplete and difficult-to-administer reversal strategies that can result in a pro-thrombotic state. Currently, no agents are approved to specifically reverse the activity of oral Factor Xa inhibitors.
About Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Portola Pharmaceuticals discovers and develops innovative therapeutics based on targets with established proof of concept that are designed to provide significant advances over current treatments for cardiovascular and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases. Portola scientists have successfully collaborated for over 15 years on the discovery and development of novel small molecule agents targeting platelets, coagulation pathways and protein kinases. In thrombosis, Portola is independently developing betrixaban and PRT4445. In inflammation, Portola is collaborating with Biogen Idec to develop and commercialize highly selective, novel oral Syk inhibitors for the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The collaboration's lead molecule, PRT2607, has been shown to be a highly potent and specific oral inhibitor of Syk. Portola's broad chemistry capability also has led to the discovery of dual inhibitors of Syk and Janus Kinase (JAK) for chronic autoimmune indications and oncology.

Oregon doctor tends to wounded at marathon
PORTLAND — An Oregon physician didn't have any time to rest after completing the Boston Marathon.
Paul Pearson of Florence had just finished the race and was walking back to a hotel with his wife, Rachel, when they heard the first of two bomb explosions.
Rachel Pearson told KCST radio her husband put on his sweats and began to treat the wounded. She said everyone jumped in to help on what she described as "a day like no other."
Pearson said she saw a woman charge out of a restaurant with a linen table cloth to help a young man who had blood flowing from his leg. She praised marathon organizers, saying it was obvious they had trained for this type of emergency.
Meanwhile, Doug Hull, a 46-year-old librarian at a Portland law firm, told The Oregonian he heard the initial explosion about a minute after getting a text message from his wife that said she had finished the race and was a few blocks away with family.
"All of a sudden it got quiet, dead quiet," Hull said. "Then you started hearing the sirens. Then we saw cops running."
Rumors flew and he worried about his wife.
"We were freaked out," he said.
But he was able to meet up with her, and they walked the two miles to their hotel.
Hull said he doesn't want his wife to run any more marathons. "This is going to be her last one," he said. "I'm telling you that right now."
Though the marathon results were overshadowed by the tragedy, Oregon runners excelled. Portland-based Shalene Flanagan was the top American finisher in the women's race and placed fourth overall. Another Oregonian, Kara Goucher, finished sixth.
Craig Leon, of Eugene, finished 10th in the men's race — the third-fastest American.

How to Invest in Gasoline
Gasoline, more specifically RBOB Gasoline, is a petroleum-derived liquid mixture that has an energy density slightly lower than jet and diesel fuel but higher than high octane gas, biodiesel, or LNG. On average about 19.5 gallons of gas can be extracted from a 42 gallon barrel of crude oil.
Gasoline is one of the most important commodities in the world used primarily in the transportation industry in the U.S. This usage segment accounts for over 40% of global gasoline demand although emerging markets are quickly catching up in aggregate. It should also be noted that taxation and subsides also play a key role in demand for oil as heavily taxed nations such as those in Europe or Japan, tend to have higher average prices and thus are more easily discouraged than those nations with low fuel taxes such as those in the Middle East and other large oil producing nations.
For those looking to invest directly in gasoline, a limited number of options are available. While there are heavily traded futures contracts for the product, there are currently no pure play stocks or equity ETFs that invest in companies that exclusively produce gasoline and do not then refine it themselves from crude oil. With that being said, some larger oil firms, or more specifically, refiners, could offer a more targeted play on the industry in equity form. There are, however, a number of ETPs that offer exposure to the commodity\'s futures contracts either in a basket or pure-play form.
Ways to Invest in Gasoline
There are 3 ways to invest in Gasoline: ETFs, Futures, and Stocks. Click on the tabs below to learn more about each alternative.
What are Gasoline ETFs?
For investors seeking exposure to RBOB gasoline, there is an ETF that focuses exclusively on this blend of oil. The United States Gasoline Fund (UGA) invests in near month RBOB futures, rolling exposure as expiration approaches. Investors should be advised that UGA does not seek to replicate movements in the spot price of gasoline, but rather deliver returns available through a futures-based strategy.
RBOB gasoline is included in a number of broad-based energy ETFs, such as the PowerShares DB Energy (DBE) and iPath Dow Jones-UBS Energy ETN (JJE).
What are Gasoline Futures?
RBOB gasoline futures are not quite as liquid as contracts representing WTI, but the market for exposure to this blend of oil is very liquid. RBOB gasoline futures are traded on the NYMEX under the symbol RB. Contracts represent 42,000 gallons, priced in dollars and cents per gallon. Contract months include 36 consecutive months.
The settlement for RBOB gasoline futures is physical, though there is a separate market for futures that are subject to financial settlement. Those contracts also trade on the NYMEX, under the symbol RT.
How to Buy Gasoline Stocks
Investors have the option of achieving exposure to prices of energy commodities by buying stocks of companies engaged in the extraction, refining, and sale of oil. Many of the major oil companies, including BP, ExxonMobil, Total, Royal Dutch Shell, and ConocoPhillips, will generally see their stock prices appreciate when gasoline prices rise. As such, investments in these companies can be an effective way to gain exposure to gasoline without exposing a portfolio to the nuances of futures contracts.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the United Nations Thursday the world must draw "a clear red line" to stop an Iranian nuclear bomb.
"At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs," Netanyahu said. "And that's by placing a clear red line on Iran's nuclear weapons program," a line that triggers military action.
Speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, Netanyahu argued, "Red lines don't lead to war. Red lines prevent war," citing a number of historical examples.
"Clear red lines have also worked with Iran," he said. "Earlier this year, Iran threatened to close the Straits of Hormuz. The United States drew a clear red line, and Iran backed off.
"Now, red lines could be drawn in different parts of Iran's nuclear weapons program," he added. "But to be credible, a red line must be drawn, first and foremost in one vital part of their program, on Iran's efforts to enrich uranium."
He contended Iran could produce medium enriched uranium by next spring, and weapons grade product shortly thereafter.
If Iran gets the atomic bomb, he asked, "Who among you would feel safe in the Middle East? Who'd be safe in Europe? Who'd be safe in America? Who'd be safe anywhere?"
Netanyahu argued sanctions against Iran will not work.
"For over seven years ... the international community has tried sanctions with Iran," he said. "Under the leadership of (U.S.) President Obama, the international community has passed some of the strongest sanctions to date. ... It's had an effect. Oil exports have been curbed, and the Iranian economy has been hit hard. It's had an effect on the economy, but we must face the truth, sanctions have not stopped Iran's nuclear program either."
Earlier at the United Nations, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Israel rejects the "two-state solution" for peace.
"President Abbas just spoke here," Netanyahu said. "I say to him and I say to you, we won't solve our conflict with libelous speeches at the U.N. ... We won't solve our conflict with unilateral declarations of statehood."

Specialized optical fiber system proves ideal in heavy industrial application.
Over the years, the engineering and maintenance departments developed a small local area network (LAN), with a conventional fiber-optic (FO) backbone supporting a Token Ring topology. For in-plant quality control and accounting communications, the National Cooperative Refinery Association (NCRA), a 275-acre facility in McPherson, Kans., was using a complex multiplexing coaxial system. However, it needed to expand the LAN to achieve optimum communications efficiency, while using a distributed control system (DCS). NCRA started planning a network to not only expand, but to also include the point-to-point communications the DCS requires.
Installing a novel version of FO cabling at NCRA helped the engineering department and management staff solve several challenges relating to plant operations. First, technology developments in refinery processes called for the most up-to-date communications networking systems. Secondly, OSHA 1910 Process Safety Management requirements called for compliance with a number of new federal regulations, centering on sophisticated sensing and reporting requirements.
In many cases, the distance between LAN nodes at the plant exceeded the capabilities of Cat. 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. Thus, the engineering department selected FO as the primary DCS media, and as the backbone for a five-loop, (unshielded) twisted-pair copper LAN. The FO network would require running the optical fiber cables in PVC below ground and rigid metal conduit above ground to connect the entire facility and four remote buildings. More specifically, this design involves 10 junction points and 13 main terminations. Because initial future expansion needs were not clear, NCRA decided against a conventional FO. To achieve a long-term, onetime, cable solution to support this undefined network, NCRA chose a technology called air blown fiber (ABF).
Air blown fiber. ABF refers to the use of compressed air or nitrogen to literally blow lightweight optical fiber cables through a tube cable at up to 150 ft per minute. Standard blowing distances are 3300 ft for two to six fiber bundles and 1650 ft for 12 to 18 fiber bundles. However, if two sets of blowing equipment are used in tandem, you can double these distances.
Developed by British Telecom, this technology and its installation method, are under license for U.S. manufacturing. The technology is based on the installation of a tube cable before installing any fiber. A tube cable is composed of a flexible outer jacket containing individual flexible tubes, called cells. The number of individual cells (up to 19) depends on the diameter of the outer jacket. In this case, the outer jacket is similar to a 3-in diameter steel, aluminum, or plastic conduit, for example. An individual cell is similar to an innerduct, which is the standard conduit pathway usually used to hold optical fiber.
Each inner cell accepts a single-fiber cable, with a fiber count of your choosing. And you can quickly blow the fiber cable into or out of the cell.
At the start of the installation, you must establish an optical fiber path by connecting a number of tube cells into a linear fashion, using push-fit connectors. At specific locations, you use a tube distribution unit (TDU), or junction box, to route the fiber to different locations. The TDUs replace the traditional junction boxes, where mechanical or fusion splicing would ordinarily take place. In this case, the TDU provides an access point (like a pull box) from which to blow fiber in any direction, so the fiber run is completely splice-free from point to point.
The FO bundle jacket has a low coefficient of friction as the air flow pushes the bundle jacket's dimpled surface down the tube, eliminating all pulling force on the cable. The absence of splice points along the cable route eliminates the possibility of failures at these points.
The ABF cable design also eliminates the need for slack boxes, usually required in traditional FO installations. This is because when blowing ABF, you can easily wind the slack inside the terminal cabinet's fiber patch panel. Should you need to relocate enclosures, you can blow out the fiber, extend the tube cable, and reinstall the fiber.
Take care when installing the tube cabling in aboveground conduit systems, or at any location where the cable will see extreme temperature fluctuations. Since the tubes are constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, its coefficient of expansion is 10 times greater than steel conduit. For example, a 100-ft-long tube can shrink or expand a total distance of 14 1/2 in. when exposed to a 120 DegrF to 120 DegrF change.
Strategically place tube cable distribution boxes within the conduit system to prevent tubing kinking and fiber damage. Anchor the tube cable periodically to prevent it from crawling in the conduit. With the use of explosion-proof seal fittings at one end of each run, NCRA accomplished this. Because of these difficulties and the inherent complexity of ABF systems, an ABF qualified engineer should prepare the system design and supervise the installation.
As NCRA recognizes, you install only the exact fiber type, counts, and routes needed. You can later place additional optical fiber without disturbing existing networks. Thus, you don't have to forecast add-ons, moves, and changes, other than the normal practice of installing backbone network or ring network tube bundles containing more cells than initially required . You can accommodate network reconfiguration and growth by reconfiguring or extending tube bundles from the nearest tube distribution unit, blowing additional fiber through vacant tube cells, or replacing exiting fiber bundle count with a larger quantity (i.e. replacing a six-fiber bundle with a 12-fiber bundle).
Project details. The entire project uses 8400 ft of laminated polyethylene (LAP) tube cables containing 4-, 7-, 18- and 19-tube cells (using six-fiber bundles exclusively, with a total of 32,622 ft installed in the network).
Once the tubing was in place, the six-strand fiber bundles were blown through the cells with pressurized nitrogen at 150 to 250 lb per sq in. (psi), depending on the length of the run. The average pressure was 175 psi for runs of 1200 to 1500 ft. The longest splice-free run at the refinery is 3185 ft.
Later this year, NCRA plans to make alterations in the network, involving changes in the LAN tubing locations and fiber count. The company is also installing a new backup DCS loop between its two main control rooms and its main office building.
Since the fiber-optic cables can be easily removed and replaced, reused after replacement, or rerouted to any new destination, the system offers complete flexibility, and the components are never rendered obsolete. With these features, along with the ease of installation and reduced cost, the blown-fiber technology gives NCRA realistic, future-proofing capability.
Sidebar: Benefits of ABF
• No need for additional electronics to compensate for a loss that numerous splices in a typical conventional fiber system can cause.
• Creates cash flow savings by deferring the cost of additional fibers until you need them.
• Eliminates replacement of conventional FO due to fiber out growth.
• Less need to overdesign by specifying large count fiber cable.
• Savings that come from being able to easily install new technology. For example, optical fiber with gigabit transmission speed will likely use 50-micron and not 62.5-micron multimode fiber.

What to CookPasta
Dinner Tonight: Lemony Sardine Pate + Spaghetti with Fried Eggs
While we all love Thanksgiving, and acknowledge that life is really all about family and friends and all of that, there is a particularly light and joyous feeling that overtakes us when said family and friends have finally left and life is our own once again. There's no one to impress, no one to frantically scrub the floors for. Just you, at home, back to normal. Take the time to fix yourself something special and truly tasty -- like HalfPint's Lemony Sardine Pate -- a little more than cheese and crackers, but hardly more work. Sometimes the most luxurious meal is a meal cooked for one, and Rhonda35's Spaghetti with Fried Eggs celebrates just that. Feel free to eat it straight out of the pan -- we won't tell.
The Menu
Click through on the recipe photos or titles to see (and save and print) the full recipes, but we've also written you a handy grocery list and game plan below.
Lemony Sardine Pate by HalfPint
Rhonda's Spaghetti with Fried Eggs and Pangritata for One by Rhonda35
We bet you've already got olive oil, lemons, eggs, pasta, garlic, butter, black pepper, capers, Aleppo or other spicy pepper, hard cheese (like Pecorino Romano), and stale bread for breadcrumbs lurking around in your kitchen, but if somehow you don't, you'll be needing those, too.
1. There are a few ways to go with this dinner. It all comes together pretty quickly and easily, so it isn't really one of those meals where it matters all that much what you do first.
2. That said, why not make the pate first so you have something to nibble on while you make the pasta? Whizz it all up and set it out with some crackers (or anything cracker-like that you have around). You might even open a nice bottle of wine, and sip. That's just generally good practice.
3. When you're ready, whip up the pasta: toast bread crumbs, boil water, fry eggs. And that's it! Enjoy any which way you like, and indulge in the pleasure of eating without your entire extended family.

NEW YORK (AP) — The publisher of books by Christopher Hitchens and Christopher Buckley has changed leaders for the third time in three years.
Twelve is a Grand Central Publishing imprint founded in 2006. Its publisher, Cary Goldstein, is leaving and will be replaced by Deb Futter. Grand Central's president, Jamie Raab (RAB), announced the change Thursday.
Goldstein had been with Twelve since the beginning and headed it since 2011, when he succeeded Susan Lehman. Twelve founder Jon Karp left in 2010 to run the flagship division at Simon & Schuster.
The 38-year-old Goldstein tells The Associated Press that his wife is expecting a baby and he wants to focus on his personal life.
Futter is editor-in-chief and vice president of Grand Central and will continue there while at Twelve, which publishes 12 books a year.

As the Broncos deal with a flood of bad P.R. coming from a pair of front-office drunk-driving arrests, it has gotten a little worse.
According to ABC 7 in Denver, director of player personnel Matt Russell's blood had an alcohol concentration of 0.246 percent when measured after his recent DUI arrest. The legal limit is 0.08 percent
Russell allegedly crashed into the rear of a patrol car at an estimated speed of 40 miles per hour. The officer had pulled over to allow Russell's Toyota Tundra pickup truck to pass, so that the officer could then pull Russell's vehicle over. The officer suffered a cut on his arm, as well as neck and back pain.
According to the officer's report, Russell "had no recollection of the accident," and Russell told the officer that he had consumed "two green drinks." A half-empty fifth of peppermint schnapps was retrieved from the truck.
Earlier, Russell had struck another car. He had stopped and exchanged insurance information with the other driver. After that, someone called an anonymous hotline and reported a drunk driver.

Yard sale benefits teens, seniors
The Shuford YMCA's Sparkman Community Center became a bargain barn Friday and Saturday to raise money for community programming.
The Adrian L. Shuford Jr. YMCA in Conover held a two-day community yard sale and fundraiser, complete with drastically reduced prices on a wide range of donated items.
"People have been so generous," said Nanci Gregory, the YMCA's senior center coordinator who organized the yard sale. "We have everything from clothes to pocketbooks, electronics and bedding. People are still bringing stuff in. It's been nuts."
The yard sale started at 8 a.m. Friday, but people were lined up for the event before the center opened.
"We had 10 people in line at 10 (minutes) until 8 (a.m.)," Gregory said.
More than $100 was raised for the center within 90 minutes of the yard sale's opening.
Proceeds from the event will benefit YMCA programs for seniors and teens.
The yard sale was held in the YMCA's Sparkman Community Center, which is where many programs for youth and seniors are held each week.
"This is meeting a need, and people are really excited about it," Gregory said. "Every space (in the community center) is programmed. It amazes me how busy we are down here."
Tommy and Nettie Houston, of Conover, browsed through piles of clothes to find new and gently used outfits for their grandchildren.
"We've got grandchildren of all sizes," Nettie said.
They found several dresses for toddlers, and Nettie said she regularly attends yard sales, like the one held at the Sparkman Community Center, to find inexpensive clothes for her grandchildren.
"We also have yard sales, too," she said.
The yard sale, however, wouldn't be possible without generous donations of clothes, electronics, furniture and other items.
Patsy Fox, of Conover, brought Christmas decorations to donate to the Sparkman Community Center.
"I wanted to get rid of the stuff, and my children didn't want it," Fox said. "So I just wanted to donate it to a good cause."
Some of the decorations will be sold in the yard sale, while other decorations will be used to make the Sparkman Community Center look festive during the holiday season.
"I can't wait to come down here and see what it looks like decorated," Fox said.
Gregory started planning the yard sale about eight weeks ago, and she wants to make the event a regular fundraiser for the YMCA.
The event is scheduled to continue Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. The Sparkman Community Center holds classes and gatherings for seniors and youth, including card games, a quilting group, video games and line dancing.
For more information about programming at the Sparkman Community Center, contact Gregory at (828) 468-3068.

Rain and some hail early delayed the start of the program for about 90 minutes as wet sound equipment was exchanged for dry pieces. Leading off the performers was Eternity Focus (bottom photo) from Lebanon, KS. Also performing was Orphans Cry which is made up of husband and wife duo Willy and Sarah Roberts. A late-arriving storm kept VOTA and a representative of Rachel's Challenge from appearing. Despite the weather challenges, a lot of people enjoyed what they were able to see so that was still a blessing, said Tim Strauser, one of the event organizers. Another free concert is being planned for Sunday, Aug. 18, with performances scheduled by The Digital Age (former members of the Dave Crowder Band), 10th Avenue North and Jefferson Bethke.

PITTSBURGH, May 16, 2012 – UPMC CancerCenter, partner with the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI), has been recognized for its high quality by the Quality Oncology Practice Initiative Certification Program (QOPI), an affiliate of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). The QOPI® Certification program provides a three-year certification for outpatient hematology-oncology practices that meet the highest standards for cancer care. UPMC CancerCenter is the largest cancer center in the country to obtain this distinction, and the only certified practice in southwestern Pennsylvania.
"We chose to apply for QOPI certification because the assessment of 88 different quality measures demonstrates to us as well as our patients and their families that we are providing the highest quality cancer care at all of our sites throughout the UPMC CancerCenter network," said Peter Ellis, M.D., director of the medical oncology network for UPMC CancerCenter.
"Cancer patients and their families should expect nothing less than accountability and the highest standards of care from their cancer care providers," said Allen S. Lichter, M.D., chief executive officer of ASCO and president of the QOPI Certification Program. "QOPI participation reflects a commitment to quality of care that leads to fundamental changes in the clinical practice of oncology. Oncology practices that commit to quality and safety are those that provide optimal cancer care. The certification program helps practices determine whether they are providing the best treatment and care possible to their patients, and demonstrates a commitment to excellence and ongoing quality improvement in the hematology-oncology outpatient practice."
QOPI is a voluntary, self-assessment and improvement program launched by ASCO in 2006 to help hematology-oncology and medical oncology practices assess the quality of the care they provide. Through the program, practices abstract data from patients' records up to twice a year and enter this information into a secure database. The QOPI Certification Program analyzes individual practice data and compares these to more than 100 evidence-based and consensus quality measures. The information then is provided in reports to participating practices. Individual practices also are able to compare their performance to data from other practices across the country. Based on this feedback, doctors and practices can identify areas for improvement.
To become certified, practices have to submit to an evaluation of their entire practice and documentation standards. The QOPI staff and steering group members then verify that the evaluation and documents are correct and that the practices met core standards in all areas of treatment, including treatment planning, staff training and education, chemotherapy orders and drug preparation, patient consent and education, safe chemotherapy administration and monitoring and assessment of patient well-being.

The Moog doodle, a replica of the Minimoog Model D, may not be a highly complex synthesizer but it explores a lot of the realms of synthesis — the sculpting of sound mastered by a synthesizer.
"To be able to put all those capabilities in the hands of hundreds of millions of people is just astounding," said Moog's daughter Michelle Moog-Koussa, who serves as executive director of the Bob Moog Foundation. "I think he would be humbled and awed."
In 45 years, the Moog synthesizer has gone from a behemoth instrument that took several techs to work and several people to carry, to one you can download on your iPhone.
Moog's first modular synthesizers in the mid- to late-'60s could easily weigh between 70 and 100 pounds. Keith Emerson's monster Moog, for example, is more than 200 pounds. Moog's early synths were high-maintenance and finicky. Sometimes they wouldn't work in the heat, other times the oscillators would drift.
They were built on a workbench, using transistors, resistors, capacitors, lots of wires and a soldering iron.
"It was definitely a hardware venture," said Moog-Koussa.
Moog's first modular synths were built for experimental composers looking for new sounds to explore. Eventually, they found their way into the mainstream.
The Doors and Monkees were early adopters, but it was Wendy Carlos' 1968 record, "Switched-on Bach" that showcased the true sonic possibilities of the monolithic instruments.
Moog responded to the increased demand by releasing the Minimoog, which could be put in a case and carried. Though they were more portable and accessible, they still remained out of reach for many musicians given their high price tag. A Minimoog today, for example, costs more than $3,000.
The advent of computers and mobile devices has given way to a number of cheaper alternatives from Moog and other companies — virtual synthesizers that are built not on workbenches, but on computers by programmers using code.
Animoog, the Moog company's most recent iPhone app, costs $0.99 And, if that's still too much for you, there's always the free Google doodle.

"Success Case Study: Fever-Tree - Mixer brand capitalizing on premium spirits trends", is part of Successes and Failures research. It examines the details of and reasons behind the success of the Fever-Tree premium mixer, which has grown significantly in the UK and is also expanding internationally.
WiseGuyReports published new report, titled "Success Case Study: Fever-Tree - Mixer brand capitalizing on premium spirits trends"
"Success Case Study: Fever-Tree - Mixer brand capitalizing on premium spirits trends", is part of Successes and Failures research. It examines the details of and reasons behind the success of the Fever-Tree premium mixer, which has grown significantly in the UK and is also expanding internationally.
It delivers the critical "what?", "why?", and "so what?" analysis to teach you crucial lessons that increase your chances of launching successful products.
Alongside the brand's popularity and industry recognition, the company's revenue has also been steadily increasing. The 2016 financial year in particular was a significantly successful year for the company.
According to preliminary results, the Fever-Tree brand's revenue was £102.2m globally, registering year-on-year growth of 73%, and its gross profit was £56.4m with 83% year-on-year growth. Other mixer brands, such as Coca-Cola's Schweppes, have not been able to sustain similar successes in terms of sales value and volume, especially in the UK.
GET SAMPLE REPORT @ www.wiseguyreports.com/sample-requ…m-spirits-trends
- Fever-Tree is a "natural" premium mixer brand claiming to feature high-quality ingredients. The award-winning mixer brand has made an impact in the considerably mature overall mixer market, eroding established brands' sales.
- Fever-Tree mixers have a distinctive character and its premium positioning caters to key consumer trends - such as premiumization, the craft movement, and connoisseurship - that are trending in the alcoholic beverage market.
- Consumers prefer to drink at home rather than outside, and this cocooning trend has fueled the success of Fever-Tree.
- Observing market trends can inspire new product development, identifying market trends and creating a brand that fills a gap in the market.
Key points to buy
- Use selection of successful and failed product launches and marketing campaigns from across the globe to inspire innovation.
- Reduce the risk of failure by learning from brands/products that have under-performed: failed innovation can severely impact profit and reputation.
- Understand the relevant consumer trends and attitudes that drive and support innovation success so you can tap into what is really impacting the industry.
- Gain a broader appreciation of the fast-moving consumer goods industry by gaining insights from both within and outside of your sector.
- Access valuable strategic take-outs to help direct future decision-making and inform new product development.

Police: Hazardous device found in College Park
Some homes on Edgewood Road evacuated
Prince George's County police have arrested a man in connection with an investigation into an incident involving a hazardous device in College Park.
The fire department's bomb squad was called to the 5000 block of Edgewood Road around 2 a.m. Friday, where they found the device. Several homes on the block were subsequently evacuated as a precaution.
Officials said the bomb squad rendered the device safe; however, an investigation continued into the afternoon. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also called in.
Authorities have not yet said what the device was or why it was hazardous in nature.
Later in the morning, police arrested John Frank Jenkins, 28, and charged him with two counts of manufacture or possession of a destructive device.

For my new website, orangeicons.com, I decided to design a promo wallpaper, in brand orange color. Here is how. Create new document, fill the first layer with solid orange color, and apply Gradient in layer effects (blend mode = overlay). Or, simply use Gradient tool to fill the layer.
Create new layer (Ctrl-Shift-N), then, important!, open Paths tool window, and create new path. Use Pen tool (P) to create a curve similar to shown here.
Switch to Brush tool (B), choose a brush with small radius (2-3 pixels), and in Paths tool window, click Stroke button (2nd in bottom row). If the line is not wide enough, click Stroke again. Then, remove the path, we will not need it any more.
Hit Ctrl-J to duplicate this layer. Then again. And then...
..make another 50 copies of this layer! Use Move tool to move last layer to the other side of the image.
link all layers with curves (to do that, click Link icon for all layers). Be careful not to link background layer!
Switch to Move tool (V), and on top bar, click Distribute horizontal centers" and "Distribute vertical centers". All curves should become equally distributed along the image and should produce nice geometric texture. HINT: the original curve was very simple
Merge all linked layers into one (Ctrl-E).
Duplicate this layer and rotate it 90 degrees. Now we have a nice curved grid!
Select background layer, then select pen tool (P) (but this time, do not manually create new path!) Once again, sketch a simple curve. it will automatically be placed in new layer. change its blend mode to soft light or overlay.
Similarly, use Shape tool (U) to add a couple of circles to the background. I added 2 circles with blend mode = soft light, and another white circle with blend mode=normal. I also applied very light gradient to this white circle, to give it pseudo 3D look.
The final touch is to add shadow to the white circle. Duplicate circle layer (Ctrl-J), change its color to light grey, choose Path Selection Tool (A), click to select circle shape, and use buttons on top bar to change its mode to "Substract from shape area". Then, group layer with previous (Ctrl-G). That's all! The only thing left is orangeicons logotype. but how I created it is the subject for another tutorial :-)

Shaheen's record: On insurance, it is dismalEDITORIAL
July 20. 2014 8:28PM
Finally, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's role in dramatically reducing her constituents' health insurance options is getting noticed.
Twenty years ago, New Hampshire had 26 health insurers. There was robust competition. Then Jeanne Shaheen tried to "fix" the market.
Shaheen said it was not fair that insurers charged people different rates based on how healthy they were. As a state senator, she wrote a law to prevent that. Many insurers said they would stop doing business in the state if they had to charge everyone the same rate regardless of their risk of getting sick. Shaheen went forward with the bill anyway, it passed in 1994, and immediately insurers began leaving. Within a few years, the state lost 21 insurers.
That was two decades ago, and a lot of people have forgotten. (We have not; this page has reminded readers of Shaheen's insurance legacy from time to time.) Last week New Hampshire voters got a reminder in a TV ad released by Americans f or Prosperity's New Hampshire chapter. The ad relates the story of Shaheen's dreadful 1994 law and ties it to her vote for and steadfast support of Obamacare, which further reduced the state's insurance choices.
One of the reasons for Shaheen's supposed popularity is that she has rarely taken strong positions on deeply controversial issues. Unfortunately for her, time has a way of proving or disproving political rhetoric. Rhetoric becomes policy, which becomes law, and laws have consequences. Shaheen's health insurance laws have had devastating consequences on New Hampshire's insurance market. They have limited choices and raised prices. Maybe she will finally be held to account for that.

(AP) PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama's IOUs start coming due
By CALVIN WOODWARD
Associated Press
Americans are a forward-looking people, which is to say they can have the attention span of a gnat. So presidential campaigns seem like distant history almost from the moment someone wins.
It's goodbye, good riddance _ and hello to something else.
Yet a big aspect of every campaign lives on, four years or longer: the victor's promises.
Not just hopes and dreams and cross your fingers _ though often there is not much more to them than that _ but a pact with the people, a set of distinct IOUs.
Now it's collection time.
President Barack Obama paved his path to re-election with fewer promises than in 2008. But the ones he did lay down are meaty, legacy-shaping for him and consequential to ordinary lives today and for generations to come, for better or worse.
They also are extraordinarily difficult to achieve in a time of gridlock grief and budgets that are tight when they are not paralyzed.
He's promised to set a course in law against global warming, stop Iran from gaining the ability to make nuclear weapons, slash America's use of foreign oil, restrain college costs, take a big bite out of the national debt even while protecting the heart of the big entitlement programs and overhaul immigration law.
He's promised to make health insurance not only universally accessible, but "affordable," through a 2010 health care law that is finally entering prime time and will soon be tested.
It's a sure bet that many who voted Republican want some of Obama's promises to fail. They didn't sign up for tax increases on the wealthy or a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
But as closely divided as the country is, most Americans support Obama's ends, if not the means. Who doesn't want a lighter national debt or better health care for less?
In that sense, everyone's got a stake in seeing him make good on his broad-brush promises.
Whatever a candidate's promises, legacies are made by how a president manages matters of war and peace, economic growth and weakness, social change and traditional values, and whatever crises come out of the blue.
If this decade somehow becomes the Roaring Teens, history may not care much about a big broken promise or two. If jobs are demolished, that's what will be remembered, not that 9 out of 10 promises might have been kept.
But Obama made a pact with voters, not historians, and he's got IOUs outstanding.
Republican lawmakers do, too.
They don't inherit the promises of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and did not campaign with one voice. But they presented themselves unmistakably as the party of smaller government, low taxes, a strong military capability and fiscal restraint. They have to answer to voters in 2014 for what they deliver and fail to do.
So must Democrats.
Voters can't throw Obama out of office if he botches his job this term. But the president still has skin in the game.
With a chunk of the Senate and all of the House up for grabs in 2014, Obama would have an easier time making good on his promises if Democrats were able to hang on to the Senate, win back control of the House or both. That's a tall order, given that the party holding the White House historically has lost seats in the sixth year of a presidency.
In this series, Associated Press writers who cover subjects key to Obama's agenda and that of the GOP examine his main campaign promises, their chances of being kept and their likely impact on people.

Many healthcare professionals can write prescriptions as part of your care, not just your GP. Find out who can write prescriptions for medicine in the UK.
Under UK law, only "appropriate practitioners" can prescribe medicine in the UK. A prescriber is a healthcare professional who can write a prescription. This applies to both NHS prescriptions and private prescriptions.
Appropriate practitioners are:
Independent prescribers are healthcare professionals who are responsible for:
They include:
Supplementary prescribers are responsible for continuing your care after an independent prescriber has assessed your health.
They work with the independent prescriber to fulfil a clinical management plan agreed between the prescribers and you.
Supplementary prescribers include:
A supplementary prescriber can prescribe any medicine, including controlled medicines, for any condition within their competence under the agreed clinical management plan.
For example, your GP (an independent prescriber) may assess a condition such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and refer you to a specialist physiotherapist (a supplementary prescriber) to manage your long-term care.
Your physiotherapist will be able to prescribe medicines, such as inhalers, under your clinical management plan.

Latitude and longitude impact climate. Students will learn this first hand by researching the climate for a specific 10° x 10° quadrant of the country. Students will download data sets on both temperature and precipitation for their quadrant and... (View More) will determine averages for each of those factors. Using that information, students will construct a climatogram (a climate diagram). After analyzing the climatogram, students will prepare a poster and give an oral presentation. The influence on their quadrant's climate of additional factors such as elevation, topography and solar intensity will also be considered. Note: This lesson involves several activities. Following the recommended sequence and timetable, the lesson could take six to ten 50-minute class periods. It is possible to reduce the time commitment by modifying the activities.

TAMPA — Another key cog in the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup signed on for three more years.
Ondrej Palat, one of three finalists for the Calder Trophy honoring the NHL rookie of the year, signed a three-year contract worth $10 million on Monday. Palat was scheduled to be a restricted free agent on July 1.
"My agent did a great job and I want to thank (Lightning general manager) Steve Yzerman, he gave me this offer and this opportunity,'' Palat said from the Czech Republic on Monday. "I'm really happy that I will be a part of the Lightning for three more years.''
In his first full season in the NHL, Palat led Tampa Bay with 59 points and finished second in league rookie scoring behind Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon and just ahead of teammate and fellow Calder Trophy finalist Tyler Johnson. Johnson also signed a three-year contract worth $10 million on May 23.
Johnson and Palat have been teammates and linemates for the majority of the past three years and helped lead the Lightning back to the playoffs this season for the first time in three years.
"We have been playing together for the past three years, and now we are signing the same contracts, so that is awesome,'' Palat said.
Though Palat scored twice in the playoffs, he played with an undisclosed head injury which was not diagnosed as a concussion. Palat took a blow to the back of his neck area against Columbus on April 11 that forced him to miss the final regular season game on April 13 and kept him out of Game 2 against Montreal in the postseason. But he said there are no lingering issues and he has already begun off-season workouts to get ready for next season.
"Everything is fine,'' Palat said. "I took a couple of weeks off and now I'm ready to go, I'm 100 percent.''

Sullivan reports on River Oaks development
With autumn's arrival and the end of the building season looming on the horizon, a lot of local citizens are raising the question, "What's happening at River Oaks?" We have posed this question to Senior Councilman George Sullivan and his answer is here.
Originally the developer projected that between January 1970 and December 1972, he would have completed a hotel and convention center, a golf clubhouse and course, a sports pavilion, a marina, and the first phase of single unit dwellings, 70 in number.
Also projected was a shopping center that was expected to be under construction during the year 1972. This projection was accepted by the Town Board as an integral part of the overall plan for the PUD (Planned Unit Development) in this area.
There are a variety of factors that placed the development far behind schedule for their proposed project and the construction of roads, sewer laterals and the housing and apartment complex.
The most damaging setback came in the area of sewers. ...

Teacher negotiations go to fact-finding
Grand Island Teachers Association President Joanne McCartin, speaking from the floor, opened the Sept. 26 School Board meeting with comments about the lack of a teachers' contract. Mrs. McCartin pointed out that although teachers had anticipated settlement as of Sept. 1, when no agreement came they acted responsibly and had gone to work.
Commenting that, "The longer these things go, the more rancor builds up," she said she hoped settlement would come soon.
An executive session on teacher negotiations the same evening did not reach settlement. William McGee, supervisor for personnel for the district, reported Wednesday that the dispute would go to fact-finding, with sessions not yet scheduled. Reports, however, are expected by the end of October, Mr. McGee said.

Protested at public information meetings and in the Golden Age Center Wednesday, was the plan to have bridge crossers limited to using the E-Z Pass system or pay a 50 cents toll.
"We should have the option of using the new system or buying the commuter books, Supervisor James Pax said. Copies of his request were sent to Thruway Chairman Peter Tufo, Gov. Mario Cuomo, Sen. Tony Masiello and Assemblyman Sam Hoyt. ...
